Any idea how hot it got when the temp gauge was climbing? I don't think it moves above the normal range until temps are above 220. Hopefully you didn't crack a liner. Easier & cheaper to replace the front cover than the engine. And I hope the people you're taking it to are knowledgeable about Rovers.

 

Most likely a front cover gasket. Unless they didn't torque the head bolts properly. Do away with that plastic thermostat and do the inline mod.

soooo.... who wants to buy a parts car?

 

Bummer

 

Well that sucks......you don't wanna pin them I'm assuming? Could make a fun project...

 

Wouldn't the block have to be cracked behind the slipped sleeve to cause coolant to leak in and fill the cylinder?

:'( Happy Valentines Day to me my only girl is dead!

 

That's a real bummer grandkodiak, either a new block or a donor engine. HG's would have been far simpler in fact in hindsight.

 

Feeling brave? How about a bottle of Blue Devil?
